These Forums

[Flaming Squriel King]

I think these forums have really gone downhill since the august delay. Everyone is angry and the idiots are seizing this lapse of good posts. Can we get back to thoughtful, funny posts? ;(

[Rather Dashing]

I dunno, that post wasn't very meaningful or funny.

Your efforts would be better placed making thoughtful or funny posts, rather than complaining that nobody is.

[Klemmins]

I love how these forum threads seem to stay on topic through at least the first page of posts, and then slowly degenerate into something entirely different.

Anyone like waffles?

[Harald B]

It's an annoying interlude, but it will pass. People are just frustrated right now, especially because of the lack of information and lack of someone to blame. Once they get their hands on the game all of that will ebb away.
I'm also optimistic that the next episodes won't have us go through this all over again; Telltale has never missed a release date before, so these delays are really pretty unique.

Wait, it's coming out in August now?

Where have YOU been? In the Digestive Track of the Shambling Corporate Presence?

anyways, I LOVE waffles! =D

[Rather Dashing]

It's the LAST DAY OF JULY, and it's not coming out today. So it has to come out in August. It also has to come out on a Monday, because Wiiware releases only happen on Mondays....and the PC and Wiiware version come out simultaneously.

[Travis_Touchdown]

Well, hopefully that free episode of Sam & Max will tide me over for the next few days. Plus, I'll get to see what Telltale is all about since I've never really played one of their games.

Actually, SECOND to last day... had to correct you there. ^_^

I completly agree with Flaming Squirell King. The forums had gone so downhill that it was getting painful to so much as even glance at it.

It was becoming one gigantic collection of whining, temper tantrum throwing, and 7 year old spammers. I had almost left for good, never to return. I thought to myself "what's the point, if no one wants to discuss that actual game instead of constantly whining about the release date, as if they were the first person to do it."

There was no discussion value, and I had just had it. i was sick, I was done.

Then I come back here one last time, just for curiosity, and I see that at least someone else BESIDES ME, had the guts to point out just how wretched these forums were getting.

So, am I to belive that the constant release date whining has stopped and that there are people willing to try and save these forums and have them be at least halfway productive?

Because if so, i'll stick around, if there's actually valid Strong Bad discussion to be had instead of constant deluges of "WHENS IT COMING OUT" and "WHY ISN"T IT OUT YET I HATE NINTENDO WAH!"


In short.. I guess i'm poking my head in to ask "Is it safe?"

Well... is it?

Well, sorta-kinda. I've been lurking these forums for awhile 'till I decided to create an account and, well, it's improved a little. Maybe because it's just really, really close to the release date or something.

Um. Mostly. Don't worry, I have a muzzle, I won't bite. XD

[KarmaRocketX]

Well, that's good.

Guess i'll stick around if things are improving a bit, and it's getting more constructive.

I also like that "release date discussion" was moved into one thread, or as I like to call it "The trash barrel." :b

(Sorry. Don't mean to offend anyone or anything. :P I'm just glad actual discussion about other things can now be had.)

[TrogLlama]

I've monolouged about this on various occasions, so I won't just repeat the things I said.
But, anyways, yes, the forums have decreased in quality somewhat. I attribute this to H*R attracting a couple of stupids* to a forum that's not really used to them.

*Now, don't get me wrong here, this isn't H*R's fault, and some pretty cool people are floating around because of it, too. It's just that, well, we've gotten some whiny 10 year olds recently who want to do tings like make up fancharacters and do RPGs and other stuff that I thought I wouldn't see after I ran screaming from 4Kids.

As a person who was introduced to Telltale by H*R, I could agree more. H*R is more universally known then Sam and Max or Bone, or so you get a whole range of people including some with less intelligence than H*R or Homsar.

You also get some really smart people who knew about Sam and Max and played Hit the Road when they were kids, but didn't know what their favorite detective dog and hyper kinetic rabbitty thing were up to.

You've got to take the bad with the good. These forums are getting really crowded though...

[Klemmins]

I was introduced to TellTale through H*R, and had only heard of S&M, never played it. Even with all of the annoyances, this is still a really fun site to hang out.

[InfamousDS]

I made a thread that is neither whining, complaining, insulting, or spamming. I'm just gonna point you all towards it.

This is a good place for actual discussion

yeah, hence my title. some posters are definitely showing their age, and it's around the same number as their post count if you know what i mean.

[wisp]

on of the bigger problems lately is the not-reading of older posts. let's say someone replied to a question in a thread three posts ago, it's pretty safe to say that the same question might be asked only a few posts later.

i totally agree that the forums are always going downhill...but i believe it already started in 2007...in august.

Actually, he did post that on the last day. It all has to do with those silly timezones. Anyway, back on topic.

On the fanstuff wiki, we've already started to get a bunch of primary(call it what you want) school kids who just fill it up with useless junk and then just leave again. I mean, what's up with that?
